I had multiple typos. When I made these comments I was coming off a 40.1 degree fever and was laying in bed with my phone when I saw this post. I wrote some hand notes too and they're even worse. The same word is spelled incorrectly in two different ways.

You'd think it would be a hot take but I had someone arguing against me that it's not a good indicator since only approx 20% of competitors get a PhD in Math. I felt that he was emotionally invested in his argument, likely due to wanting to do a math PhD and not being food at the competitions. I even agreed that you don't need to be good at competitions to get a PhD but he still kept to his argument that being good doesn't help at all

I was having a discussion recently in another forum where I argued that success at a Math Olympiad is a good indicator of future success. I'm not surprised to see in the slightest he won a gold medal at 16.

It's a necessary but not a sufficient condition for success.

Can the app talk to them while they're not internet connected?

Even wearing chain mail I doubt you'd have a chance much higher than zero against a full grown tiger.

Two reasons. The first is that women tend to just like babies. Female friends want to hold a baby but male friends almost never do. Women get "clucky" around them, etc.

The second is that when my youngest was 6 months old I felt nothing for him. I saw a psychologist about this and they said it was really normal for dads to not feel connected to second+ kids until the kids are past a year.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply it's not hard on mother's too. I meant that they seem to have a better hormonal reward system with babies. Mother's seem really happy cuddling their little ones and adult women tend to enjoy cuddling babies compare to adult men. I didn't have that same connection with mine so I didn't get reward, at the time, for my efforts.

Babies aren't meant to be fun. I became a single dad when I had a baby and a two year old. Honestly, I don't think most men are wired for doing this role. The 4-5 years that followed were very difficult for me mentally. I was socially isolated, had no support (all support structures were mother orientated) and I had two really little kids to care for.

I'm not sure if I changed, or it's simply easier for me now they're a bit older, but over time I had merged into this parenting role really well. My kids are both happy and well balanced, other kids and adults both like them and they're doing really well at school.

I think I can vouch that women don't factor appearance in as much, at least once they get past 25 years or so. When I was younger I was nearly invisible to women. I ended a LTR of 7 years at 30 and the tables had turned significantly. I'm a similar build to when I was 22, I'm at best average attractiveness, now I'm bald too and yet online dating is like shooting fish in a barrel. I could line up more dates then I actually have free time to go on. I literally spend less than 3 weeks on any dating app as I'll tend to meet someone in that time who I have some sort of casual relationship with for a period of time and I tend to be monogamous even in casual relationships.

You can't rely on odds after an event has happened to determine probably. I could shuffle a deck containing 1000 unique cards and then look at their order. It's astronomically low that this order occurs but it did happen.

Here in Australia the streaming options for music/video are better than our previous options for CD's/cable. A three month subscription to Spotify costs less than a single album would cost me 20 years ago.... not even account for inflation. A monthly Netflix subscription is 20% of the price that cable would cost here 5 years ago.

I feel that the author started open source out of passion but is at the stage where he is sick of incredibly valuable companies using his work for profit without contributing back.

That might make more sense. If you have two integers in the same approximate range you might expect the upper halves to look similar.

>Moreover, p and q must be chosen independently. If p and q share approximately half of their upper bits, then N can be factored using Fermat’s method.

Wouldn't p and q normally share around half their upper bits if chosen independently? I suspect the probability distribution would be centered around 0.5

In Australia, our cyber security laws are very strong. There is no way I'd attempt to access services on random IP's to test if they use no password with common usernames for those services. Any semi compotent prosecutor could argue I accessed a computer without permission and they'd be 100% correct.

The only way I can see myself accessing a computer and not breaking a law is through a genuine mistake i.e. mistyping an IP/url and somehow having the right username + password.

I prefer to stay 100% on the legal side. The only way I'll touch a computer is with a signed document from the owner giving me permission and with clear instruction on what I can and cannot do.

"Hey Google, make me a 90 minute movie about X where Y also happens but put in some plot twists"

I'd argue that the majority of vegans do it, at least partially, for animal reasons. I started to see how it would affect health but quickly enjoyed the peace I felt from not harming animals

I don't think I've ever seen a single cyber event attributed to Russia in my country. I see a ton of speculation in the news about other nations but never Russia. I'm going to suggest that your view that Russia is held responsible for the ills in the whole flat world is quite wrong.

I believe in science and I take these allegations seriously. You don't pin an attack based on what IP address it came from. You use intelligence and piece together clues found in the attack to build up a picture.

Nations are really cautious about attribution. For Norway to officially blame Russia it just means they've found some pretty convincing evidence.

I have known from the transistor level through to the mouse moving on the screen, just not all at once. If I put the effort in then I know I could have a solid grasp of all stages at once but it would be a waste. If you're programming in assembly then you're dealing with instruction sets. You don't need to know how transistors make up a NAND gate to program with instructions, or even how gates fit together to make higher order components. You just need to need you have a processor and memory.

I have seen prior articles indicating that Covid-19 can have post viral affects. I suffered from post viral affects after glandular fever and brain fog is one of the main symptoms, the other being post exercise malaise. There is already an established history of viral illness causing these same symptoms

This isn't a violation of French copyright law, although it may be a violation of French contract law. This sets a precedent that software copyright disputes fall under French copyright law.

That's the summary

Not always a decision to raise the kids. Up until a month before I married ex-wife she had worked in a good career. She went on leave a month before the wedding, never returned to that job or any meaningful career. We were childfree and she was choosing to work part-time because she had decided she didn't want to work much anymore.

This was not my decision and it was a huge stress to the early part of our marriage. I had the whole financial burden of the couple, and I didn't even have a house wife since she wanted 50/50 chores.

Luckily my country doesn't have alimony. I do pay a significant amount of child support despite having the children more than her but it doesn't bother me too much.

Do you make it known that employers that you cannot work past 6pm since you need to go read books/hike/whatever? I literally will not accept a job where I can be expected to work nights while I have small children and any employer of mine knows this when hiring me.

The average wage in Washington is $55k in 2018. Google L4, when I searched, is $133k. You earn 241% of the average pay and live in a middle class suburb. To me, middle class implies average. The reason you can afford to have a SAH partner is because your salary is top 10% but you live a 50th percentile lifestyle.

I'm a single parent working full time from home in addition to some university that's online too. My children are young, right at the beginning of their school experience (7 and 5). It's not too bad.

I spent years working my arse off after I became a single parent so I could have a career that also lets me be an involved parent. This year was meant to be my first relaxing year. It hasn't worked out that way but it's still an easier year for me than 2019 and 2018. I would go two months straight with 100-110 hours per week of time commitments.

Maybe I have an advantage because I'm used to not having free time. Home schooling is at most 30 hours per week but in reality far less unless your child has special needs. My 7 year old is mostly autonomous. Let's assume 40 hours per week of work. That's still only 70 hours per week. People might need to just manage their hours better each week. I do a lot of homeschooling on weekends, the work we missed during the week when my kids needed help but I was busy. I don't see any reason schooling on weekends would be an issue?

If a standard work day is 8 hours and management expects you to do the work of 4 people then I'd argue that the company is already bleeding money.

If the employers offer parental leave after the birth of a child then the managers should factor that in to their work allocations. You cannot blame the employee for using a benefit that's part of their contract.

So has the cost of caring for old people but they don't complain about that.
